WARNING: THE FOLLOWING IS A NON EDITED MACHINE TRANSLATION FROM THE ORIGINAL IN SPANISH.

This message gives a lot of turn in the Internet and it is considered on the part of many people like a creative use of the ICT for the fight against the poverty.

Personally I don't share this positive trial. Instead of censoring it I find more creative to give the opportunity to this community so that it is expressed in connection with it, since it is a concept in connection with our problem. What do they say?:

"Alone it removes you one minute. It is very easy: you go to this address of the United Nations http://www.thehungersite.com, you will see a map in which a country is illuminated every 3.6 seconds: it indicates that somebody has just died from hunger in that country, according to statistical. Well, because in the square that you see amid the text that there is under, you make click, and you will have financed (without cost some for you) a plate of food for somebody in the world. They pay it the companies in exchange for that they allow them to put their logo on the page (truth that companies are when you have made click in the button). Alone one can make click 1 time for person and day. This new idea of United Nations seems to be working VERY well. It doesn't cost anything and it is helped somebody that needs it a lot. I suggest that you put that address like default in your navigator, this way every day when you open it you will be able to make your contribution. Send this e-mail to all your friends.

Greetings to all!"
